entertained his guard with a song. His
selection was "Annie Laurie" lie sang
the sweet song entirely through, and

his assistants tested the gallows. Heavy
bags OF sand were attached to the ropes and

authorities. Then an unusual
quiet prevailed in the Jail The only noise
in the cel-room was the low voices OF
few deputies, the turning Of n key in a
lock and the rapid ticking Of telegraph
instrument which was telling the world OF
the last hours of the four anarchists.

WAsHINGTcE Nov 2S-Tha, section

A few years ago Henry p Hay. a mid
dle.aged man, and a brother Of the late
Malcolm Hay, Of Pittsburg, who was
first assistant postmaster general under
President Arthur, cana here and took a
position in the Office Of the first auditor
OF the treasury. He lived In the family
OF Mrs. Louisa G. B. Wickersham, in a
fashionable part Of Ledrott park, and
was there regarded IS a retired physician
OF unimpeachable character, and. a
bachelor. On Thanksgiving day he
died. Miss Helen B. Wickersham.
. daughter of his landlady, aud aged
about twenty-fv was supposed by the
neighbors to be Hays afianced bride.
and the wedding day WIS presumed to be
not far distant. Thu young woman was
greatly shocked by the death. At the
momen when the family were about
going to church with the remains for the
1uneral services, and while Mrs. Wicker
sham and daughter were upstairs ar
ranging their toilet, and the coffin was
yet open Tor the purpose Of permitting the
large concourse present to review the re.
mains, two well appearing young men.
brothers., entered the room, crowded for

OF them, the eldest. said In dramatic
tones:
Here Is u father, brought to this
through these infamous women. and
want these people to know that we are
his sons and have been refused every de-
tail as to the circumstances of his death

welfare. I speak in justice to the COM

wrecked a once happy family and brought
sorrow n irretrievabl Ill affifction upon a
loving wife and affectionate children.n
n brothers created q panic of excite
ment, and q gentleman present tried to
get them out Of the house, but they would
not go. They went to church, sat on a
'front.' seat during the funeral services,
n then attended the burial at the Rock
Creek church cemetery. Through the
Fest they say their father was, till a few
years ago, 9 minister: that he was led
ny the Wickershams to acts which caused
their mother to get. y divorce ON
the ground of adultery With Miss Wicker
sham. They say they found their
mother's furniture In the house occupied |
by the Wickershams, and that their
bought the residence the Wick |
ershams lived In and decided it to the +
daughter. The affair has created q |
whtrl of social excitement.
